Fabio Capello, the manager of England has admitted that he already knows which five players would take penalty kicks, should his team be involved to a penalty shoot-out at next summer’s World Cup in South Africa.
“Penalties are a lottery. I remember some very important players didn’t take penalties because they didn’t feel sure they would score.
“For this reason, with penalties, when the time comes and you have to choose who should take them, you ask and the players say ‘no, please’ and that can even be the very best players.
“I prefer to choose the players who want to take penalties and I always train with penalties in my mind,” he added.
One would expect that Manchester United’s ace Wayne Rooney, Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard and Chelsea’s Frank Lampard who are all first choice takers for their clubs are likely three of the five.
